had all the attention of the
world and of his parents
centered to him.

3. One day, he
received the news
from his parents
that he would
soon have a
sister, because his
mother was
pregnant. At first,
he was very
happy with the
news he had just
received.

4. TThe next day, he went to
the shopping whith his dad
and bought a lot of things
for his sister and he was
very excited waiting for the
day she would be born.

5. But when his
sister was born,
things changed
dramatically for
him and he
became a sad
boy. He had much
envy of his sister,
because THEIR
parents gave all
attention to her...

6. When his parents noticed his
change of mood and
behaviour, they explained to
him that his sister was a just a
little baby, very fragile and
needed special care, because
she wasn’t as strong, big and
healthy as him. He thought
about this for some time, but
then he understood and
accepted the situation, so he
went on playing with his old
friend Bob as he used to do
before.
